DUE WEST, S.C. -- Sophomore Helen Moore scored 16 points and Mount Olive set a single-season school record for conference wins in a 74-39 rout of Erskine (S.C.) University.

The Trojans (15-9 overall) improved to 13-4 against Conference Carolinas opposition, and kept sole possession of second place in the league. Mount Olive won 12 league contests in 1995-96.

Mount Olive broke away from a tie game midway through the first half as Keona Corley's basket off of Alisa Jones' steal ignited an 18-2 run and gave the Trojans a 31-15 lead with 4:12 left in the first half.

Erskine (4-19, 3-13) never got closer than 14 points and Mount Olive went into the locker room with a 39-24 halftime lead.

In game one, Mount Olive broke its scoreless drought on freshman Jazzmine Lee's two-out single to shallow center field. Former Southern Wayne standout Karen Thornton drew walk and both runners scored when Jackson lined a two-strike pitch off the right center-field fence.

Turvin (1-0) yielded a two-out single in the second inning and a one-out single in the third before retiring 12 consecutive batters. Newberry collected consecutive singles in the seventh, but the Trojan defense preserved the victory.
